OMG, there was a resting male Hawaiian monk seal at Hanauma Bay this morning! We've never seen a male this close in the wild before. Found out from an observing NOAA volunteer that the seal's name is Kekoa. It was neat to watch him undulate to higher ground when the tide came in and to hear him "belch" from time to time.
Did you know that there are only 3 species of monk seals in the world? The Caribbean monk seal is believed to be extinct, the last time one was seen was in the 1950's. Both the Mediterranean and Hawaiian monk seal are endangered.
